I remember the lake gardens well, Lee. I spent a lot of time there when I was stationed in Taiping. Beautiful shot! Alfie...

Thank you for the comment Rosie. It is called the rain tree because the shape of the tree makes it look like an umbrella. I think it is your mimosa because someone had posted a photo and I recognized the flower. In Hawaii, it is known as the monkey pod. The trees in the photo are at least a hundred years old which may explain the difference in looks. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Great photos. Is there Spanish Moss on the trees or is the part that looks like Spanish moss part of the rain tree itself? Spiritwoman ^i^

Hi mrsjoe, Is your mimosa the size of a shrub? I have seen it in Australia. The flower and the leaves are identical to the rain trees. The moss is on the breaches. Those hanging down are ferns. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Great photos. Is there Spanish Moss on the trees or is the part that looks like Spanish moss part of the rain tree itself? Hi sw, The green on the branches is moss. The fronds dangling from the branches are ferns. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Hi akamatt, Yes, the trees have leaves but the leaves are in the treetops. You can see the leaves of the trees in the background in the top right corner of the photo. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past
